Jobs that Pay You to Travel

We understand. Dealing with the daily grind out there in Cubicleland can definitely take a toll – especially if you’re the type of person who loves to travel. The good thing is that there are a gazillion ways to travel – and travel jobs – for those who suffer from severe wanderlust. If this sounds like you, here’s a quick look at a few of them.

Travel Nurse

Travel nurses are in short supply right now as boomers continue getting older. Hospitals are hiring more and more nurses of this type and a travel LPN salary is pretty decent. Nurses of this type tend to work on a temp basis – typically with contracts of around 13 weeks, there is the ability to bounce from one city to the next quite often. Remember that in addition to your degree, you also need to be licensed to practice in whatever state you’re in.

Uber Driver

If you like to drive and meet new people, this might be the option for you. Uber drivers do just that. All you need is a vehicle in good condition, a driver’s license, a smartphone, and car insurance and you can be a driver anywhere in the US. This gig is great because you work when and where you want to and can have another full-time job as well with no problem.

Archaeologist

To do this job, you can be stationed permanently at a college, lab, or museum. Alternatively, some archaeologists do a lot of work in the field. If this is you, you’ll collect and study artifacts right at sites with historic significance and then present your work through publishing in trade journals or at conferences. You will need either a Ph.D. or a Master’s degree in archaeology to work as an archaeologist.

Travel Agent

This job is another one that doesn’t require too much in the way of qualifications or degrees. Most companies simply require their travel agents to have a high school diploma or the equivalent. That being said, customer service skills are also a must. The thing is, if you’re going to provide your customers with quality service, such as arranging their transportation, admission to activities, and lodging, you need to have more than a passing familiarity with the particular venues and what they do. This means you’ll have to take scouting trips in order to garner this information firsthand.

Event Coordinator

To be an event coordinator, you’ll more than likely need at least a Bachelor’s degree. It would also help if you’ve had experience within the hospitality industry. Event coordinators typically organize things like company retreats, conferences, and meetings for all sorts of businesses. Due to you needing to visit prospective venues and meeting sites, this career can involve quite a bit of traveling.

Event coordinators are also known for planning private events, which can also be lucrative. These would include things like weddings, bar mitzvahs, and any number of different types of parties and events.

Travel is a good way to make the day-to-day existence on the job a bit livelier and easier to bear. As you can see from the above paragraphs, there are a variety of jobs where you can have this particular perk. Now what you need to do is to garner a bit of attention in the field in which you desire to work. Let hiring managers know that not only are you interested, but you’re also packed and ready to head out. Just be sure to have the qualifications they’re looking for before submitting your resume. Do your research and start out on your adventurous career now.

How You Can Shrink Your Everyday Spending

It’s not good to live on a tight budget. You’ll jump from paycheck to paycheck and hope that you’ll never get hit with a surprise expense that will send your finances into disarray. If you want to change things, read this:

What Can You Do?

First, if you run into an emergency expense that ruins your financial plans, you should think about applying for a personal line of credit online. A personal line of credit is an open-end credit tool that allows you to request withdrawals within your credit limit. If your request is approved, you can have those funds deposited in your bank account. Then you can manage your emergency.

This is an excellent safety net to apply for. If you think that you’ll meet all of the qualifications, you should apply today for your line of credit. You just might get approved.

The next thing that you can do is shrink your everyday expenses. This will add more wiggle room to your budget and give you some more financial security.

How Can You Shrink Your Everyday Spending?

Brew Your Coffee

Do you buy a cup of coffee or more every day? Then, you are likely spending hundreds on the habit. As an example, if you were to buy two $2.75 coffees per day, you would spend approximately $2000 on coffee by the end of the year. That final tally would grow if you bought more expensive espresso drinks like lattes or cappuccinos on a regular basis.

You don’t have to quit your coffee habit entirely. You can simply reduce costs by skipping the café and brewing your coffee at home. Get a reusable travel mug so that you can bring your coffee on your morning commute. This change will save you lots of money.

Cook Your Meals

Are you getting takeout every day? This is something that you should try to change. Learn some budget-friendly dinner recipes that you can whip up on your laziest days, and stack your pantry with snacks that you can pack in your bag whenever you leave the house. You won’t be as tempted to spend money on takeout when you have delicious food on hand.

Use Coupons

Using printable couponing websites can help you find deals and discounts when you’re out shopping. If you’re shopping online, you can use browser extensions like Honey and Rakuten to find savings for you.

It’s important that you only use these coupons and browser extensions to get items that you actually need. It’s not a deal if you wouldn’t buy it in the first place.

Cut Bad Habits

Smoking cigarettes is a vice that can put a strain on your wallet. If you bought a $6 pack of cigarettes every day, you would lose over $2000 by the end of the year. By quitting the habit, you could automatically put that money back in your pocket.

Drinking alcohol is another habit that you should rethink. You might be surprised to learn how much your drinking habit is costing you — you might be spending more on alcohol than on cigarettes by the end of the year. Limiting the amount you drink — or quitting entirely — can help you save thousands of dollars.

Small changes can make a big difference with your budget. Follow these tips and get more savings fast!
